CHFilm to Watch: What Women Want (2011)

What Women Want (2011) 

(Chinese Film) 

Ad executive Sun Zigang is expecting a promotion at work when his boss brings in an outsider to be the new executive over advertisement: Li Yilong. She provides the team with a box of female consumer products, and while Sun is playing around with the makeup, feminine hygiene products and high heels, he falls into a tub full of water and is accidentally electrocuted. The next morning he wakes to find he can hear the thoughts of every woman around him. Will his new power drive him mad or drive him to the top of his company?

*This is EXACTLY like the 2000 American film of the same title, except I liked this version better! From what I remember, there are fewer innuendos and better music than the American version. I'd probably watch this again.*

In Need of Romance/I Need Romance (2011) 

Grade: F

16 episodes

Three girlfriends in their early thirties are still navigating the different aspects of romance and love. In-young is a hotel concierge and has a boyfriend of ten years; Hyun-joo is a lawyer, engaged to be married and still a virgin; and Seo-yeon is a model and fashion designer who never stays with a man more than 4 months and has slept with countless others. When a young actress enters the picture as In-young's boyfriend starts to make it big as a movie director, will they stay together?

*This series had only 40 minute long episodes, much like the show 12 Signs of Love, and it had the same level of promiscuity and sex scenes. It's as if they are attempting to make their programs like many American shows. I did not enjoy this at all. None of the characters showed any real development, and their views of love and relationships are so convoluted and skewed it was ridiculous. I would not watch this again, and I definitely don't recommend it.*
